Hegseth RIPS 'stale thinking' under Biden: 'I don't know what Lloyd Austin did for 4 years’ #shorts
It's my understanding that this whole. supplemental B funding request is $87.6. billion. and most of the funding, 67 billion, is. for the Department of Defense. Yet, we were told the Department of. Defense still has 75 billion. in unobligated funding from last year's. reconciliation package. Is that true? >> Roughly correct numbers, yes. >> So, you left some change on the dresser. before you. prepared to come for this hearing.
What's going to happen to that 75. billion? >> Well, that 75 is there's plans and. designs on that, part of the rebuild of. our military which had to be undertaken. And so, one big beautiful bill gave us. specific avenues. But, I'd have to get. you the exact numbers of what that is. left to be allocated. >> a war in Iran? >> No, this is this is rebuilding our. military from what was not funded in the. past under the Biden administration. So, that's these are this is from 2026 one. big beautiful bill which which helped. move the president's priorities like. Golden Dome for America, move away from. all the woke priorities of of what the.
Biden administration was pursuing, give. us a chance to start cutting these deals. on munitions. All the things that we he. the president wanted us to focus on. shipbuilding, hypersonics. I mean, the. Biden administration ignored. hypersonics. They just decided to. pretend like that technology didn't. exist and we shouldn't invest in it. There are thing I don't know what Lloyd. Austin did for 4 years. I really don't. >> sure. >> The amount of neglect, the amount of. stale thinking and bureaucracy. >> proceed if I might before you get into. your next topic. Let me interrupt your response.
